Biodegradation of azo dye Direct Orange 16 by Micrococcus luteus strain SSN2

Biodecolorization and Biodegradation of Azo Dye Reactive Orange-16 by Marine Nocardiopsis sp.

Background: Azo dyes are xenobiotic compounds that have bioaccumulated in the environment due to escalated industrial development. These are hazardous in nature, possessing carcinogenic and mutagenic effects on human beings. Objectives: The perspective of the present study was to isolate and to determine azo dye (Reactive Orange-16) degrading potential of...

Biodegradation of azo dye compounds

Azo dyes are one of the oldest industrially synthesized organic compounds characterized by presence of Azo bond (-N=N-) and are widely utilized as coloring agents in textile, leather, cosmetic, paint, plastic, paper, and food industries During textile processing, inefficiencies in dyeing result in large amounts of the dyestuff (varying from 2% loss when using basic dyes to a 50% loss when certa...

Binding of Dissolved Strontium by Micrococcus luteus.

Resting cells of Micrococcus luteus have been shown to remove strontium (Sr) from dilute aqueous solutions of SrCl(2) at pH 7. Loadings of 25 mg of Sr per g of cell dry weight were achieved by cells exposed to a solution containing 50 ppm (mg/liter) of Sr. Sr binding occurred in the absence of nutrients and did not require metabolic activity. Initial binding was quite rapid (<0.5 h), although a...

The cobalt(II) salt of the azo dye Orange G

Crystallizing the cobalt(II) salt of the azo dye Orange G from water was found to give the solvent-separated ion-pair species hexa-aqua-cobalt(II) 7-oxo-8-(2-phenyl-hydrazin-1-ylidene)-7,8-dihydro-naphthalene-1,3-disulfonate tetra-hydrate, [Co(H(2)O)(6)](C(16)H(10)N(2)O(7)S(2))·4H(2)O. The asymmetric unit of the cobalt(II) salt contains three independent octa-hedral [Co(OH(2))(6)](2+) cations, ...
